From Cologne, Germany comes news of the Crysis 2 Limited Edition and Nano Edition that have been revealed today by EA and Crytek.
While copies are still available, you can pre-order the Limited Edition at the same price of roughly $60 to get four in-game bonuses. These include: extra experience points that open up all five preset class load-outs, a holographic decoy that attaches to your SCAR to mislead opponents, a weapon skin for the same gun and platinum dog tags that are part of over 250 collectible ones in Crysis 2’s multiplayer.
If you’re looking for more goodies to go with your purchase, you can pick up the Nano Edition for $149.99/£119.99/€129.99. Included in a Nanosuit-modeled backpack is the Limited Edition cased in steel, an 11”/28 cm statue of Prophet on a NY cab and an art book.
Make your pre-orders now, or wait until March 22, 2011 (March 25, 2011 for European gamers) to get the game when it releases for the 360, PS3 and PC.
In addition to respective special edition box art and three new screenshots posted below, we are also sharing a commentary video from CEO/Founder of Crytek Cevat Yerli and Executive Producer Nathan Camarillo. They take us through the Central Station level, which is said to be a crucial part of the storyline, as well as containing one of the most difficult enemies. Besides the game looking fantastic, their commentary is particularly interesting as they discuss choreographed sandbox gaming and the potential of the nanosuit to expand the breadth of gameplay.

Both editions feature premium packaging and special unlocks in the Crysis 2 multiplayer game. The Limited Edition and Nano Edition are available for pre-order now in limited quantities*. EA and Crytek also announced today a closed multiplayer beta for Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system starting this fall.
The Crysis 2 Limited Edition will be available for no additional cost, while supplies last, and features four must-have in-game unlocks for the ultimate multiplayer experience:
Bonus XP – Players will jump into multiplayer battles with an edge by starting with enough experience points to gain early access to all 5 preset class load-outs.
SCAR Hologram Decoy – This special attachment to the SCAR will project a hologram image of the player, allowing them to confuse their opponents with the decoy.
SCAR Weapon Skin – This digital camouflage skin will allow players to add a personalized touch to one of the more popular assault rifles in the game.
Platinum Dog Tag – This special one-of-a-kind dog tag is one of over 250 that will be collectible in Crysis 2 multiplayer, helping to separate you from the rest of the field.
The Crysis 2 Nano Edition is designed for the ultimate Crysis fan and will include the Limited Edition housed in a steel case plus an 11” / 28 cm statue of the game’s hero “Prophet” on top of a New York taxi cab, a high-quality art book, all packaged inside a backpack modeled after the Nanosuit itself.
